Simply Marvelous Weddings opened its virtual doors in 2005 and for two years has endured the ups and downs associated with new business ownership. Holding on to an existing "day job" was an unfortunate reality that was necessary from the start. It not only underwrote the business’s expenses but also served as a safety net if things didn’t work out.
I am proud to announce that Simply Marvelous Weddings is finally in a position to hold its own. For the first time since its inception, I have been able to quit my 18 year career in the Mortgage Industry and devote my working day to the coordination of Southern California weddings and events.
Not only have I been met with great success as of late, but have expanded the planning of weddings and events to include Filipino and Catholic weddings, an area in great need of professional coordinators. To facilitate this new niche, I joined the SFVFACC (San Fernando Valley Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce) and was an exhibitor in the first annual Philippine-Los Angeles Wedding Expo, held last April in Pasadena.
Constantly looking for ways to hone my craft, I completed the necessary certification course that entitled me to become a member of The Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants (ACPWC), as well as Professional Bridal Consultant status with the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC).
Bookings for the 2007-2008 wedding season are underway and the calendar is filling up fast! Simply Marvelous Weddings has expanded its product lines to include Ovation Chocolates and Carlson Craft invitations and stationery. New gallery pages have been added to the website with recently coordinated weddings. This new BLOG has been set up and is now available to accept your comments and questions.
I invite you to visit Simply Marvelous Weddings and Events to discover the exciting changes and additional product lines. Share your thoughts in this BLOG or email me directly with any ideas. I would love to hear from you!
Following your dream can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. But, in the end, it’s well worth it. Thanks for your continued support in getting Simply Marvelous Weddings and Events off the ground!
Happy Valentine’s Day
